This is based on a real life situation where Mom received flowers from her brother and was certainly surprised. David had been working on displaying different expressions, some in clay, some on paper so this was a timely exercise! What was really interesting was wen David drew this he did the last panel with Henna facing the picture on the wall. How intuitive! Thanks Uncle Ricky!
David has started taking horseback riding lessons at the Morning Star Farm Riding Academy. He’s learning how to use words to tell the horse what he’d like it to do. Molly helps David find the words as any good word detective would do. Click on the link below to visit their website at: http://mstarfarm.com/

As most of you know, David has autism. It often creates difficulty in understanding social situations. We’re developing a series to help bridge the gap with social situations. Using the comic strip format that David has become accustomed to, we’re using a simple 3-panel explanation to reinforce certain ideas that David lives through.
This first series we’re working on is “What To Do When Friends Come to Visit”. We’re working on several comic strips to further this, but so far the ones we’ve created have worked beautifully.
Here we see Dave and his friend Mrs. R, who comes to visit from time to time. They’re taking pictures of one another. So having drawn out the scenario first, it helped that visit go much smoother.
A special thanks to Mrs. R who dedicates so much time to our friendship. We’re so lucky to have you around!
As many of you know, David had landed a job to illustrate a comic strip for a monthly newsletter of a local business. January’s edition was published earlier this week! Dave was given the assignment, and got right to work.
I published the comic strip under the Fun Facts tab, so be sure to check out the page to get all the extras.
